Instructions: Pour 3 cups (750 ml) of water in a medium saucepan, cover and bring to a boil over high heat. When boiled, uncover and slowly stir in the grits, 1 tablespoon (15 ml) salt and 1/2 teaspoon (3 ml) black pepper. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, for about 5 minutes. Stir in grated Parmesan cheese and 1 tablespoon (15 ml) unsalted butter.

Remove the saucepan from the heat, season to taste with salt and black pepper, cover and set aside. Keep warm.

Meanwhile, in a large mixing bowl, place the shrimp and season with salt and black pepper. In a large nonstick skillet, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons (30 ml) unsalted butter over medium-high heat. Add seasoned shrimp, minced garlic, and cayenne pepper. Cook, tossing, until the shrimp are pink, for about 3-4 minutes.

Remove the skillet from the heat. Add 2 tablespoons (30 ml) water, freshly squeezed lemon juice, and chopped fresh parsley. Stir well to coat cooked shrimp with the sauce, then season with more salt and black pepper.

Divide the grits among shallow bowls, then top with cooked shrimp and sauce. Serve hot with lemon wedges. Enjoy! You may also like to cook shrimp in a slow cooker.
